Jia Nan Academy's Elder Yan Xiao, the Myriad Beast Pill Begins Refinement!

Su Qian and Hu Gan left, leaving a tutor from the academy to receive Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was in no hurry. He sipped his tea in the reception room, pondering whether there had been any flaws in his expression when he discussed the deal with Su Qian.

He paid a considerable price for this deal with the Jia Nan Academy.

They offered precious elixirs and provided free alchemy services.

But to be honest, his losses weren't actually that great.

In particular, his free alchemy services to the Jia Nan Academy, enhanced by Heavenly Flames, made his alchemy speed incredibly fast, taking almost no time at all.

On the contrary, since Jia Nan Academy provides the Medicinal Herbs, his own alchemy skills will also improve rapidly in the process.

As his Dou Qi increased, he had originally intended to improve his alchemy skills in preparation for refining Tier 8 Medicinal Pill in the future.

It was a win-win situation for him and Jia Nan Academy.

To put it more bluntly, his chances of encountering Zi Yan while refining medicine at the Jia Nan Academy would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Thinking about it that way, he actually killed two birds with one stone.

As for giving away precious pills, that was a real sacrifice. All three pills were high-grade, and he couldn't refine too many even with all the Medicinal Herbs he had.

However, he had already figured out how to make up for it.

There were two Fallen Heart Flame in the Magma World below the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

He used the mature flower to improve himself and awaken a great Heaven-Swallowing Talent.

He could easily sell the Fallen Heart Flame that had little energy in its early stages.

Whether sold to the Jia Nan Academy or to a power in Central Plains, the Fallen Heart Flame can fetch a good price, definitely enough to make up for his losses.

Just as Xiao Yan was pondering,

The door to the reception room was pushed open.

Su Qian and Hu Gan walked in.

Xiao Yan snapped out of his reverie and looked at the two men. Seeing their friendly expressions, he was immediately delighted, but still asked calmly, "Great Elder Su Qian, has the discussion reached a conclusion?"

Su Qian nodded and said, "I discussed it with the elders in the academy, and most of them agree with the deal."

However, some elders also expressed that even if the Fallen Heart Flame were to riot, it would still be the foundation of the academy, and they would rather find a way to continue sealing the Fallen Heart Flame than use it for trading.

Otherwise, the academy will lose its greatest advantage.

After Su Qian finished speaking, she went directly to observe Xiao Yan and found that his posture had not changed at all; he was leaning back in the chair very relaxed. She knew that her bluff had not worked, so she said:

"In order to persuade these elders, the final result we reached was:"

Please invite Master Yan Xiao to the Jia Nan Academy and become a guest elder of the Jia Nan Academy.

Rest assured, Master Yan Xiao, you don't need to manage the academy on a daily basis. Just announce to the outside world that you are an elder of the Jia Nan Academy and will lend a helping hand in times of crisis.

In exchange, Master Yan Xiao's previous condition of refining medicine for the academy for free is null and void. When the academy asks Master Yan Xiao to refine medicine, it will provide three portions of Medicinal Herbs according to the normal ratio of one part to three parts, but no additional compensation will be given."

After listening to Su Qian's words, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Great Elder Su Qian, your plan is quite clever."

Make me an elder of the Jia Nan Academy, so that Jia Nan Academy can have a Seventh-Rank Alchemist as its flagship.

In this way, even without the Fallen Heart Flame, we can still attract many high-quality students."

Su Qian's expression was serious. "Then what do you mean, Master Yan Xiao?"

Xiao Yan extended his hand. "Of course I agree. I also really admire the style of the Jia Nan Academy. As long as you don't bother me or restrict me on a daily basis, I'll accept the title of elder!"

Su Qian's serious expression turned into a smile. He stroked his beard and shook hands with Xiao Yan with his other hand. "Then welcome Master Yan Xiao to the Jia Nan Academy!"

The two let go of each other's hands and sat down again, but the atmosphere between them was noticeably more relaxed.

Su Qian asked, "When does Master Yan Xiao plan to begin absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame?"

Xiao Yan waved his hand. "Let's wait until the Fallen Heart Flame rages again, then I'll absorb it directly."

Su Qian nodded, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately took out six jade bottles from his Storage Ring and placed them on the table.

"Elder, please accept this: one Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill, two Break-Ancestor Pill, and three Imperial Extreme Pill."

Su Qian's face lit up with joy, her eyes fixed on the six jade bottles. She quickly put them away and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer."

Su Qian was busy with many things, but she left with a smile.

Xiao Yan waved goodbye.

After Su Qian left, Hu Gan smiled warmly and said, "Elder Yan Xiao, come with me. I'll arrange a place for you to stay."

"Then I'll have to trouble Vice Dean Hu Gan." Although he had broken through to the Dou Zong, Xiao Yan still maintained basic politeness and did not act superior.

Next.

Under Hu Gan's arrangement, Xiao Yan obtained a sizable courtyard in the core area of the Jia Nan Academy, where the energy of heaven and earth was abundant, although it was not very close to the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

"Vice Dean Hu Gan, see you back. I won't be leaving the academy for the next few days; I'll be refining pills in the courtyard. Feel free to come find me if you need anything," Xiao Yan said as he saw Hu Gan.

Hu Gan salute and said, "Good!"

Hu Gan left.

In the courtyard.

Xiao Yan breathed a huge sigh of relief.

With the Fallen Heart Flame within reach, and Hai Bodong and his elder brother still busy subduing Feng City, he finally had a few days of real free time.

During this free time, he only wanted to try to refine the pills he had envisioned, which was a way for him to relax.

So he looked at Ling Ying, who was standing unconsciously in the shadows in the corner of the courtyard, and said, "Elder Ling, why don't you go find Xun'er first? Tell her that I've become an elder of the Jia Nan Academy, and that she can come here to find me anytime if she needs anything."

Ling Ying remained silent, nodded quietly, and left.

After Ling Ying left, only Xiao Yan remained in the Small Courtyard.

In the empty open space of the Small Courtyard, Xiao Yan took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron.

The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame has become active again.

Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together, somewhat excited. "Finally, I can refine my own pills again!"

He thought to himself, "Hopefully, this will attract that Little Dragon Girl Zi Yan, here."

With palms facing upwards, the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame rises forth.

The mythical beast patterns on the body of the Myriad Beast Cauldron flickered with red light.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan took out three Myriad Beast Blood Pill from his Storage Ring.

The Myriad Beast Blood Pill is made from the flesh and blood of magical beasts, condensing the essence of the entire beast.

In other words, the Myriad Beast Blood Pill can be seen as the corpses of magical beasts, and can be used as Medicinal Herbs.

"The Myriad Beast Blood Pill will be the main material for providing energy, and for the auxiliary material, I'll use my Myriad Beast Blood." Xiao Yan thought of his [Myriad Beast] Heaven-Swallowing Talent.

The third effect of his Heaven-Swallowing Talent is that it gives his blood the same properties as the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, both of which can help magical beasts evolve and improve their cultivation.

"The Myriad Beast Cauldron, the Fire of Myriad Beast, the Corpses of Myriad Beast, the Myriad Beast Blood. Everything is ready. Let's start the furnace and refine the medicine!"

Xiao Yan braced himself and was about to throw the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame into the Medicine Cauldron when a spatial fluctuation caught his attention.

He turned his head to the side, but before he could see the person, the voice came first.

"It smells so good... so good... so good..."
